I am surprised to see the blog of my friends was mentioned by Syed Hamid. Its also incoincidental that that one of them is back in MAlaysia for holiday.Just be careful mate, it might be holiday at ISA detention camp.

“This proves that the threat was very real. The intention was clear, we had to take some action to prevent bigger things from happening.”

Earlier in the Dewan, the Home Minister was challenged by Azmin Ali (PKR - Gombak) to reveal who the organiser of the demonstration was.

Syed Hamid said he did not answer in the Dewan as it would be against the rules laid down by the Speaker.

“You also can’t be asking how the police got their intelligence – the information also came from their own people. If you ask us outright to tell you who said all this, we can’t tell you.

“They send out all the invites but when they are in Parliament, they say things differently. We acted because of what they did and I think we were right.”

Pakatan Rakyat leaders hit out at the police.

“Today is a day we have never seen in history. Parliament became a war zone,” PKR president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail said, referring to the massive police presence and barbwires along the road leading to Parliament.

“The reaction from the police is unbelievable. I regret that this has to happen,” she said.

Kit Siang said the police action had caused a lot of inconvenience to the public.

PAS deputy president Nasharuddin Mat Isa said Pakatan Rakyat had never issued any instruction for a demonstration to be held.
